F U Costco

Policy irks the crap out of me. Recently had to hang around five minutes so they could print another receipt because I accidentally threw it away at the food court....
 
I have a sams club membership just because there are things I can get there that I cant get elsewhere. And the prices are generally a little better than walmart typically. Normally I save enough in there to pay for the membership over the year.. If ever I didn't I would stop

The whole check the receipt policy is just for show.

They can't stop or detain you. If they don't see you steal something and maintain visual contact with you all the way out, they would be stupid as hell to even try to stop you.

And I doubt they would call the cops. What are they gonna tell them? "He didn't comply with our completely stupid and useless receipt" policy?!
 
I get a $110 check back every April and it more than pays for the $99 membership. They have good stuff, many organics, well-priced, and they treat their employees right. Concealed means concealed so I'm good there. They take measures to ensure lowlifes don't walk out with free stuff - what's the problem? Hell, they don't even really check the receipt. Just a quick glance to see that you paid for at least some of the stuff.

Sounds like OP was having a bad day. Not Cosco's fault.
 
OP, I've been frustrated like this before but it soon passes. You'll end up feeling bad about it (at least I do if I act out in frustration), and likely will be embarrassed to ever walk back in the store. For what it's worth, I think the policy is kind of annoying also. Especially considering that they don't actually confirm everything on the receipt, so it is kind of pointless.

Those are all good but one
